Adios, America

Ann Coulter is back, more fearless than ever. In Adios, America she touches the third rail in American politics, attacking the immigration issue head-on and flying in the face of La Raza, the Democrats, a media determined to cover up immigrants' crimes, churches that get paid by the government for their "charity," and greedy Republican businessmen and campaign consultants - all of whom are profiting handsomely from mass immigration that's tearing the country apart.

Publisher's Summary

In this visionary book, Dennis Prager, one of America's most original thinkers, contends that humanity confronts a monumental choice. The whole world must decide between American values and its two oppositional alternatives: Islamism and European-style democratic socialism.

Prager - a bestselling author, columnist, and nationally syndicated radio talk show host who is read and heard by millions of people in America and abroad - makes the case for the American value system as the most viable program ever devised to produce a good society. Those values are explained here more clearly and persuasively than ever before.

Still the Best Hope deals with three huge themes: The first is perhaps the most persuasive explanation for why Leftism has been and will always be a moral failure, despite its acknowledged appeal to many people of goodwill. The second explains why fundamentalist Islam, despite its historic and growing appeal, cannot make a good society. But Prager holds out hope for an open and tolerant Islam and explains why it will emerge from faithful American Muslims. The third is a singularly persuasive defense and explanation of what Prager calls the "American Trinity": liberty, values rooted in the Creator, and the melting-pot ideal. These values are inscribed on every American coin as "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and "E Pluribus Unum," and they are the reasons for America's greatness. Without them, America will cease to be an exceptional nation, and therefore cease to be America.

Prager shows why these values can and must be adopted by every nation and culture in the world, why Americans must relearn and recommit to these values, and why America must vigorously export them. For if the world does not adopt American values, the result will be chaos and barbarism on an unprecedented scale.

Would you consider the audio edition of Still the Best Hope to be better than the print version?

Due to the books significance in both content & research I purchsed the book after I listened to the audio. This book is reference material I will keep returning to.

What other book might you compare Still the Best Hope to and why?

Melanie Phillip's "A World Turned Upside Down." both books identify Islam & the Left as a religion and a threat to the survival of America and The West, however Melanie comes to the same conclusions from a different angle. She sees the Left's dogma as anti-enlightenment & she does not come to American values as the solution as does Dennis. Both books are outstanding & must reads in order to understand the great forces destroying Western values & The West.

If you could give Still the Best Hope a new subtitle, what would it be?

What made the experience of listening to Still the Best Hope the most enjoyable?

This was a view into why the Left and Muslim Extremist and why they believe as they do. It is enlightening to me to understand why good people on all sides of the political aisle view the world as they do.

Of course, it is an elegant, insightful and thoroughly researched masterpiece on the most important issues of life. You can't go through it just once, it's meant to be long lasting.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Still the Best Hope?

The most accurate definition of Leftism ever given.

Which character – as performed by Erik Bergman – was your favorite?

It's non-fiction

If you could give Still the Best Hope a new subtitle, what would it be?

How to improve the world, one good person at a time

Any additional comments?

If I had to recommend just one book about politics, values and how the world works, I'd recommend this one.

Prager's gift for clarity makes heavy and complicated topics surprisingly easy to read and understand.Most people coast through life without giving much thought to issues of this book, if they all read it, none of them will ever be the same.

This is an eye opener like non other, backed with 400 footnotes, it's the Best Hope to create informed citizenry and improve the world, one good person at a time.

Human beings, left to their own devices,without sound moral consensus or faith based foundations,at the very least a higher power, become creatures of immense capacity for self-indulgence,reduced creativity,and loss of uniqueness intended for mankind as part of the purpose and hope in Creation.

What does Erik Bergman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Easy to get lost reading a long book-audio narrative kept my interest.

Mr Prager has written the strongest and most compelling argument for Conservative American Exceptionalism written in this century. It should be considered mandatory reading for all who consider the United States as home!

This is really important stuff and I hated to write a 2 star review. It's just that I get bored out of my mind everytime I try to listen to this audiobook. IMHO, I think this material and the way it's written would be better received via written format. This review is by no means an indictment of the material, just the way it's presented in audiobook format. I would enjoy the audiobook much more if the narrator would speed up the tempo. BUT buy the book!!! since this material is critically important in understanding the political Left, how pervasive their influence is, and how much damage they have been able to inflict upon our citizens and the Republic. Time remaining is very short to undo the damage done by the Left. We are truely living in perilous times. I worry for the children that will inherit our mess!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Still the Best Hope?

Dennis's insights regarding why the Left supports the most radical, God centered religion on Earth while denegraging Christianity which is much more subdued by comparison.

Dennis observes and explains the political and ideological divides in today's American society with clarity and conciseness without any ad hominem attacks or offensive language at all. He is diligent to appeal to reason and logic with a clear understanding that both sides of an ideology have a deep love for America, and often for each other, especially within families such as his own. He examines the intentions and the results of those intentions from a mature and experienced, end-to-end viewpoint. A very thorough, well thought out, evenhanded, fair and balanced discussion about timeless truths and the character of human kind that reinforces America's founding father's reasons for the construction of a miraculous government of check and balances. Dennis focuses a lot of attention on understanding the difference between good and evil and the need to acknowledge this eternal truth.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Still the Best Hope?

Clarification of the difference between goodness and innocence when discribing children and humans in general.

Have you listened to any of Erik Bergman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

N/A

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

America's great divide

Any additional comments?

Well worth the time for developement of understanding the world's ideologies today.

The Left side in politics (usually Liberal/Democratic) has a very dangerous ideology, but it feels good, yet, it has terrible consequences. I was going in that direction; being brain washed by media, politicians, free thinkers until Mr. Dennis Prager rescued me, Literally!By the way, the Left ideology is not just in America and Europe, it is all over the world even in the Middle East and Africa. People look at it as the ultimate. I may not agree with the author in every thing, but overall, it makes perfect sense.Can't thank you enough, Mr. Prager.I found this book in public Library and got it on audible, it is so true and full of real facts.Always remember, when you cannot argue intellectually, you start calling people names like bigot, racist, homophobic, islamiphobic, sexist, close-minded,...etc the list never ends!
